TESTIMONIALS

Jessie Della V.

I was one of the lucky competitors at Queen of the Peak last weekend who got to visit Dr Ron’s chiropractic tent down at Cox bay… I thought the best part of the weekend would be the surfing, but it ended up being the relief I felt after Ron helped sort out my back. I’ve been living with discomfort and pain in my upper back and shoulder for YEARS.

I hadn’t found any relief with massage over those years, and had resigned myself to living with the discomfort, assuming it was all part of the ageing surfer/boat skipper process… I wandered over to the chiropractic tent last Saturday thinking I’d give it a try, and within ten minutes, Ron had sorted me out and his treatment had me paddling and popping up with an ease I haven’t felt in ten years. TEN MINUTES!? It felt like some sort of magic.

Days later, I’m still feeling relief and relaxation– I had no idea I’d been carrying tension around like that for so long. Words cannot express my gratitude; I can’t recommend Ron’s treatment enough, especially to anyone like me who’s walking around with their shoulders at their ears, assuming it’s just something one has to live with. Here’s to surfing comfortably til I’m twice my age at least! Thank you, Ron, I’ll be back again, sooner than later this time…

Thank you Dr. Ron for straightening me out and making my babymoon extra special. Oh! And your awesome restaurant recommendations
